Inferior recorders, missed shows, etc. I just cancelled my subscription...not worth the money or hassle. TIVO does not deliver what it promises.

Strolling through upcoming episodes of PBS Frontline shows and I notice that "Bush's War" won't be recorded by season pass - no other recording conflict, not previously recorded (it's never broadcast before), no reason not to automatically record.

He’s also reporting that the blog sucks… though that may be subjective. Alex Raiano, of the unofficial TiVo Blog, raises questions as well. My expectations for TiVo’s blog weren’t very high, so I’m neither surprised nor disappointed. I always felt the blog was intended as another venue for light-weight fluff… confirmed by comment filtering and 1/3 of all sentences ending with exclamation points.

Having a good blog would get people reading it every day and help build more buzz about the company. Seems like a no brainer with such a die-hard, tech-savvy user base.

The value of a good blog is the fact that insider information and and other interesting stuff gets posted regardless of the official corporate standpoint. All I ever saw on the blog was an echoing of announcements at the same time as the official ones. BTW, this is a problem with most corporate sponsored blogs, not just tivo's.
